I have always surmised that “Fast and Furious (F&F)” would eventually wind its way up Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House. Moreover, I also believe Eric Holder is something less than a “law man”, and more of a political hack covering for his friend and boss, the President. From his comments about Americans as cowards regarding race, to his condescending and frankly “come what may” attitude regarding the entire F&F investigation, the Attorney General of the United States seems to care little for the laws he is sworn to uphold and enforce.
From the beginning it appears it was the intention of the Administration to morph a targeted program designed to identify parties smuggling arms across the Mexican border, along with their cartel associations, into a PowerPoint presentation for the purpose of promoting gun control legislation here at home. Ultimately, the plan that appeared to favor failure as opposed to success did in fact fail, but with horrific consequences. In the end, many innocent Mexican citizens, (and probably some unsuspecting American visitors), as well as a war-hero Border Patrol Agent were dead, and “We the People” as well as Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry’s parents want to know why.
Now we hear President Obama has invoked “Executive Privilege” regarding requests for additional information about the case. Subsequently, the pressures of a political year unlike any other, don’t bode well for justice for the Terry family any time in the near future. Additionally, we may debate “Executive Privilege” and what it means in terms of the POTUS’s previous statements all day, but it is the simple fact of Officer Terry’s murder that should galvanize (all) of our representatives in an effort to find the truth for the Terry family, and for all Americans…
Holder must resign!!! At the very least, he is in contempt of Congress…
